​@brightestlight9462 They're just super fit people with crazy armor. Astartes are superior in every way except for (maybe) gear. And it's practically impossible to quantify the difference in gear since the materials used exist in different universes. So there not really a way to compare.

Even starting an engine sounds fucking awesome: “Strike the first rune upon the engine's casing employing the chosen wrench. Its tip should be anointed with the oil of engineering using the proper incantation when the auspices are correct. Strike the second rune upon the engine's casing employing the arc-tip of the power-driver. If the second rune is not good, a third rune may be struck in like manner to the first. This is done according to the true ritual laid down by Scotti the Enginseer. A libation should be offered. If this sequence is properly observed the engines may be brought to full activation by depressing the large panel marked ‘ON’.”

The game is terrifyingly brutal. Most lore accurate depiction yet of Tyranids, since Guardsman don't live longer than 30 seconds and even Space Marines struggle against the horrors of the Tyranids. Orks got nothing on nids in comparison of combat strength. Warriors are are almost as strong as you are... as a Space Marine! Zoanthropes are a genuine threat if you don't take them out ASAP. Lictors and Hive Tyrants are actual boss fights, fantastic on all levels. Co-op requires you to have space marine levels of teamwork on harder difficulties. Unlike the first game which was for the most part a power fantasy where you just mowed down Orks like they were nothing - because yeah they're Orks, they're only a challenge for regular Imperial Guardsman, with the only threat being Chaos Space Marines and deamons in the last couple of missions of the game; In Space Marine 2, you're facing things which can take out a Space Marine with little effort out the gate, it actually requires skill to succeed.

Orks conquered Terra in the 34th millennium. It took all the sons of Dorn reforming the 7th legion to repel them. Orks are absolutely a threat. People forget how nasty they are because they are comic relief. Titus and the Blue boys are lucky they have never encountered a Primeork.

the most important part of tyranids is missing so cant really call them lore accurate there is no cooperation while your doing the fancy finisher animation on a hormagaunt your completely immortal for the entire thing but one of the main purposes of a hormagaunt vs a marine is distraction, its just a flashbang with teeth, to keep you standing while the venomcannon takes your head off the immortality during finishers is a massive step back from the first game also warriors getting killed causing the death of surrounding nids is just dumb, but if you dont have coordinated cooperation to take away you cant really show the loss of synapse

playing the easiest difficulty in this game feels like playing lore-accurate ultramarines, playing the highest difficulty in this game feels like playing as a helldiver instead of a space marine, as in you die in 3 hits with no stims and you tickle your enemies, JUST like in helldivers!

Asmon during gameplay trailer: "Generic, boring, not that excited." Asmon at release: "It's trending!? I'm hype!"

[@fartloudYT]

thats a common issue these days, hyped, because because of others people's interest in something and not your own. the critical mass of people indicating such hype can be easily adjusted via marketing departments, paying off streamers and so on.

@@HeroOfJusticeYT Which, if you go back and watch that video, he acknowledged the fact the developer was purposely playing slow and still continued with his thoughts on it with that knowledge. Additionally, that same vertical slice is in the game and he played it so it's not like the actual scenes that were shown changed.

[@bat__bat]

Gotta commend the artwork. It looks just like painted miniatures, like very well-done miniatures. The lighting and sound are great. It doesn't seem to slow down from swarms of mobs at all. One gripe is the lack of enemy models and even boss models. Also it seems they opted for black-box weapons that can't be "leveled up." That makes it more moba and less mmo. Maybe on the next game they'll have both styles to choose from. This title might draw the $70 customer easier than we think, from the artwork and transmogging alone.

​​​​ A great strategy is needed to survive this game, and the strategy that I came up is to run and hit. Don't rush on a group of Tyranids. Just move backwards faster and waiting for one or two Tyranids that will approach you faster than the rest and block their attacks and hit them. The ideal goal is to one on one with Tyranids and kill them faster since other Tyranids will approach you immediately. Rushing in swarm of Tyranids is a suicide. What I love about this game is you have to use your brain to survive this game. This is just one strategy I came up. Maybe their are other strategy that are more effective than mine since there are many varieties of skills in Warhammer. Also just save your bullets in range enemies and only use melee in melee enemies since that ammo is limited.

[@joethestrat]

I dont think melee "in this game is rough" so much as you need to be far more aggressive with your melee weapon.

[@H8964K]

This game has quite high skill cap to play good. Imagine this is only normal difficulty. There is 2 more higher and later will add 1 more higher. Here's some tips: 1. CHANGE your weapon back to gun&combat weapons(secondary) before engaging because you can not use gun strike if you still holding the bolt rifle(Still figure it out) 2. Practice parry more often even without the blue indicator rather continuously dodging backward. That won't work. 3. REMEMBER heavy attack+gun strike instant kill combo on small enemy can recover your armor. 3. Perfectly dodge or parry on stronger enemy and gun shot them for big damage rather keep normal attack. (Clean some smaller mobs first before doing this. This is not execute, no invincible time) 4. Try to use the right attack combo!!! The light+light+heavy sometimes can get you out a little bit more bad situation. 5. You cannot purely focus only parry or dodge. You have to use both equally. Usually parry right after dodge in a swarm can get you some perfect parry. 6. Do NOT try to get out of a swarms by keep dodging backward!! Face it!

[@RykoCrucem]

He said in the video that he is playing on hard mode when he was hiding from the spitters to recover armor early on

[@redcenturion88]

When I get swarmed I just go full tweaker mode and dodge continuously while tapping the parry button. Works better than you'd expect lmao 😂

Isn't it the other way around for the first two? For casual gamers its amazing cuz they just go do stuff and it looks good you chop shit up and the content is difficult enough already for them to feel engaged and not get burnt out on it and for hardcores its like great but not amazing because they are way more used to games with difficulty so the repetitiveness catches up when they lock in with the mechanics and start destroying things?
